Disclaimer

If you do not know me (I mean, really know me) then there is something you need to understand before you read this blog: I value the truth above everything else... except a good laugh. A good laugh will almost always beat the truth as far as I’m concerned. Everything you read on this blog will be true, somewhat true, or something I made up in an effort to get a laugh. Sometimes I will go on a rant that I don’t really mean (or only kind of mean). Sometimes I will mean what I write only to completely change my mind a year, month, or day later. Such is life. By reading this blog you agree not to get offended by anything I write (or, at the very least, you agree not to tell me or anyone else that you are offended). It is worth noting that my employer does not endorse my blog (or even read it, to tell you the truth). The Wife also does not endorse my blog (though she will read it from time to time). I am not paid to write this... it’s just my way of giving back to the community. I have, and will, touch on a wide range of subjects and will give my opinion on these subjects. Again, most of what I say is for laughs but every now and then I will say what I really think and feel (see my views on Westboro Baptist Cult). How will you know when I’m serious and when I’m trying to get a laugh? You’ll know. And if you don’t know, well... maybe this isn’t the best thing for you to be reading. So, sit back, read and enjoy. Leave comments if you want and don’t be afraid to publicly follow me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCAS!!!!

Know Your Medal of Honor Recipients:

Private John Kennedy (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on June 11, 1864, at Trevilian Station, Virginia. His citation reads:

Remained at his gun, res1sting with its implements the advancing cavalry, and thus secured the retreat of his detachment.

Second Lieutenant John T. Kennedy (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on July 4, 1909, at Patian Island, Philippine Islands. His citation reads:

While in action against hostile Moros, he entered with a few enlisted men the mouth of a cave occupied by a desperate enemy, this act having been ordered after he had volunteered several times. In this action 2d Lt. Kennedy was severely wounded.

Private Philip Kennedy (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions from October 21, 1876 – January 8, 1877, at Cedar Creek, etc., Montana. His citation reads:

Gallantry in action.


I’d like to wish my Godson Lucas a very Happy 2nd Birthday!!! Hope you have a great day, big guy.

I've been working on a project for Mom that involves me scanning all of her old pictures.  It's been pretty fun and gave me the idea of Flashback Friday (where I'll share some old pictures with you).


Flashback Friday

Sonny's oldest child, Allison

Aunt Yvonne and me (not sure when... my guess is sometime after the summer of 1996 [which is when I got that shirt] and the fall of 1997 [which is when I went to Winthrop])

Me in the First Grade (I think)

Me in the 7th or 8th Grade

Here we see me in the 5th Grade with my teacher, Ms. Taylor.  The field you see behind us now has a 2 story elementary school on it.

Sonny (in the white shirt) on his 2nd birthday - It looks like this was before he got ugly

A cute little picture of Mary Ruth when she was 1

This is Dad's old bird dog, Molly, as a young puppy... well, she probably wasn't a young puppy at this time... but she was still a puppy
